Space Station Runs Away From Space Shuttle

The International Space Station continues to play coy with space shuttle Discovery

The ever elusive International Space Station has managed to stay a few steps ahead of the space shuttle Discovery, as the later tries to dock with the former. It's the kind of space romance you only read about, but now it's coming true.

Space shuttle Discovery, which had tried for days to get it up, has faced nothing but rejection from it's intended love interest. No mater how much headway Discovery makes, the space station still refuses to have anything to do with it.

The mismatched couple are performing a dangerous ballet miles above earth, all-the-while dodging stray satellites and pieces of space debris.
